Moonlight

Updated: Jul 14

By Mansi


I am not bound to the gates of a garden.

I do not know why I limited myself then.

The world is a vast open land

I run around holding no one's hand.

"Do you remember when".

I do not wish to remember then

The sun sets and the warmth is gone.

To the moonlight my eyes are drawn.

My vision is obscured.

Just like then 

I become insecure. 

There is no hand to guide me

In the darkness loneliness is profound.

Sitting on the grass, I look around.

It is only the moon and I.

With my hand I reach out to the sky.

I wish to embrace the gentle crescent.

I cry.

What I want is out of reach.
